The art of storytelling is one of mankind's oldest methods of keeping records. In Ozark Tales and Superstitions, Phillip Steele has collected twenty-six stories in an attempt to preserve the rich lore indigenous to the Ozark region. Here are tales of the supernatural including “Lady of the Valley” and “Monster of Peter Bottom Cave,” Indian legends such as “legend of the War Eagle” and “Legend of Virgin's Bluff,” treasure tales, outlaw stories, nature lore, plus a collection of superstitions, moon signs, weather signs, and regional cures and remedies.
